Pioneer Square South and Pioneer Square North are light rail stations on the MAX Blue and Red lines in Portland, Oregon. It is considered the central station in the MAX system, although the Eastside and Westside MAX lines technically end/begin just past the Galleria and Library stations to the west. Pioneer Square South is the first stop on the (original) Eastside MAX line. From 2004 to 2009, this station was also served by the Yellow Line, until that line's relocation to the Portland Transit Mall in August 2009.
Contents
The platforms are built into the sidewalks of Yamhill and Morrison Streets and are part of Pioneer Courthouse Square, Downtown Portland's focal point.
